Tuscany — Places to Visit

Cortona

approx 50 mins, 40km

Cortona lies just to the west of the Niccone valley and is an elegant walled city with several fine museums and numerous Etruscan tombs in the surrounding countryside.

It is a famous centre for antiques, with some shops also open on Sundays in the summer. Besides hosting an antique furniture fair at the end of August, Cortona has regular monthly antique fairs on the third Sunday of every month (and the Saturday before it).

Florence

approx 2 hours, 125km

Take a day out and visit the incredible Tuscan capital, famous worldwide for its art and culture. We suggest you book online for visits to the Uffizi Galleries because queues for tickets are long, and would also recommend a walking tour of the city to delve into its history - and that of the Medici who called it their home.

Visit the official site for Florence museums and galleries for more.
